I choose the pink of the brick as my background material.
As usual, I used the lightboard and tracing paper to make my pattern;
traced the pieces onto Pellon Fusible Webs & Adhesives, Wonder
under; and selected and numbered the material I was going to use.
The major difference with this project is that I have decided to use paint to highlights and to add the
small details.
It will take longer to make this quilt because the painting on the fabric is definitely taking me out of my comfort zone. My biggest concern is; "How will I quilt this?"
Unfortunately, being back at school will add to the time it will take me to finish this project. Looking at where I am on it, I feel as though I have accomplished quite a bit this week.
In 2001, we went to Nome, Alaska to visit my youngest sister who has made her home up there. She took us to see the "Train to Nowhere". It was built during the Gold Rush days and remains there today. The men who built it didn't think or know about the marshy tundra during the summer months. The tracks sank, thus the train for transporting the gold went "Nowhere". It still stands there today as it did many years ago when it was first built.
